Answer:

Keisha =$25

Scott =$19

Ryan = $57

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount each have be represented by A, B and C

Keisha = A

Scott = B

Ryan = C

Keisha , Scott and Ryan have a total of $101.

That’s

A + B + C = $101

Keisha has $6 more than Scott

A = 6 + B

Ryan has 3 times Scott

C = 3B

Substitute 6+B for A and 3B for C in the first equation.

That’s

A + B + C = 101

6 + B + B + 3B = 101

6 + 5B = 101

Subtract 6 from both sides

6 - 6 + 5B = 101 - 6

5B = 95

Divide both sides by 5

B = 95/5

B = 19

Scott has $19

Recall Keisha has $6 more than Scott B.

That’s A = 6 + B

A = $6 + $19

A = $25

Keisha has $25

Also, Ryan C has 3 times what Scott B has .

That’s

C = 3 x B

C = 3 x 19

C = $57

Therefore, Keisha has $25, Scott has $19 and Ryan has $57

Joe has eaten 2/5 of a pizza.Jane has eaten 1/6 of a pizza how many more pizza has joe eaten than Jane?
jenyasd209 [6]

Joe ate 7/30 more of pizza than Jane. You can just subtract 2 uneven denominators. So you would turn them into 30 because that’s the closest highest number that can go with 5 and 6. Then multiply 2 with 6 which is 12 and then multiply 1 with 5 which is 5 now you can subtract it. 12/30-5/30=7/30.

Final Result: 7/30
